Drove Lucas to school today. I asked him why he did not want to follow me fishing last Saturday. He simply said that he rather fish during the school holidays! Not understanding his logic, I simply said that it was alright.
He's growing up and I know that I have to take whatever time I have with him before he reaches the teens. Evan right now is testing the boundaries and his friends are a significant influence on him. So fishing or for that matter,any other activity that I do with them, will take on a whole different perspective. Meaning this - it is my bonding time with them.
If fishing takes away this time and does not give me the thing I want with them, than I prefer to stop fishing and do something they like. They love guns. We were down at the Singapore Discovery Centre and they had a great time with the SAR21 shooting gallery. Whilst Lucas is a "sniper" by nature and deliberate in his marksmanship, Evan tends to be a "Rambo" in having a high rate of fire. Either way, it's just suits their nature to be who they really are.
So is it fishing or going shooting? Either way I'm okay as long as the boys and I are enjoying each other's company and having a good time at the same time.
God is Good.....All the Time
